Nope the Aussies only do that against the Kiwis!!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: The Underarm bowling incident of 1981 occurred on 1 February 1981, when Australia were playing New Zealand in a One Day International cricket match, the third of five such matches in the final of the Benson & Hedges World Series Cup, at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. In order to prevent New Zealand from scoring the six they needed to tie, the Australian captain instructed his bowler to deliver the last ball underarm, along the ground. This action was technically legal, but seen as being against the spirit of the game. Bowler Trevor Chappell to Brian McKechnie

Not sure if one has been done about the look on Ricky Pontings Face Today yet :lol: :lol: :lol: But here goes some others :wink: :wink: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is some question as to whether one of cricket's classic howlers was ever spoken on air, and who said it. Cricket commentators Don Mosey and Brian Johnston were in the commentating box for the BBC World Service in a test match between West Indies and England at the Oval. Batsman Peter Willey was at the stumps, bowler Michael Holding was at the crease, but did either Mosey or Johnston really say on air:

We welcome World Service listeners to the Oval, where the bowler's Holding, the batsman's Willey.

Another classic is from 1991 between England and the West Indies at the Oval. Knocking over his own stumps had just got Ian Botham dismissed. Then bad light stopped play and commentators Jonathan Agnew and Brian Johnston were filling the time with replays of the match. Johnston was being a bit mischievous and saucy about Botham straddling the stumps, when Agnew went one better and said:

Well, he didn't quite get his leg over, did he?
Johnston tried to continue talking normally and he succeeded for about 10 to 20 seconds; then laughed so much he was unable to speak, and all this was heard on air. :wink: 79 Lillie Caught Willey Bowled Dilley :lol:

My niece has just sent me pictures from the Sydney Herald of the sunset. Looks like you're having your fair share of rain shipmate!
PS-This isn't a typical Aussie thing of getting excuses in early is it? (That's if you lose of course, but this is a "sport" I care nothing for.)

Controversy mars Test - again
England captain Andrew Strauss and umpire Rudi Koertzen are competing for the honour of public enemy No.1 in the eyes of Australian cricket fans after their roles on a controversial fourth day of the second Test at Lord's.

If the Aussies dont lose a wicket till lunch I think we can pull off the Great Escape
